Summer Art Camp: Drawing Like a Scientist (Ages 9–12)

Explore art from the perspective of the natural sciences! In this camp, we’ll connect with nature on the LACMA campus, examine nature-themed work in the museum’s collection, and focus on our representational drawing skills by practicing some of the rigorous techniques used by science illustrators throughout the ages. All levels are welcome. Taught by artist Stacey Vigallon.

This program will take place outdoors on LACMA's campus, Monday–Friday, June 26–30.
